This is an exciting and new opportunity for a motivated embedded software engineer / firmware engineer to join a start-up involved with the research, development and design of optics / photonic technologies. Their technologies radically improve network speed and energy efficiency.

This embedded software engineer role involves:

• Embedded software development for network interface card products
  
  
• The use of embedded C++ for implementation of functions / features
  
  
• Working with prototype hardware, identifying and root causing bugs and issues
  
  
• Linux PCIe network driver development
  
  
• PCIe peer-to-peer and GPU Direct
  
  Candidates must have:
  
  
• Excellent communication, organisation and motivational skills
  
  
• The ability to operate effectively in a fast-paced, evolving, start-up organisation
  
  
• Knowledge of highspeed network interface and optical transceiver systems (advantageous)
  
  A good understanding of electronics product development coupled with proven embedded software development experience is required. Experience with highspeed network interface or optical transceiver product development would be excellent.
  
  Embedded software design candidates may have worked in other arenas involving highspeed network technologies (e.g. network and data centre hardware, telecoms systems, storage / servers / HPC, consumer electronics or specialist test and measurement products).
  
  Skills / Experience required: Embedded Software Engineer
  
  
• A degree or masters in a relevant subject area (e.g. electronics engineering)
  
  
• Experience of embedded software development for high-speed networking products – e.g. optical transceivers, network / data centre electronics, telecoms systems, storage / servers / HPC, consumer electronics or specialist test and measurement products
  
  
• Excellent embedded C / C++ programming ability
  
  
• Able to support prototype hardware development, root cause analysis and debug
  
  
• Linux PCIe network driver development experience would be good
  
  
• PCIe peer-to-peer and GPU Direct experience would be advantageous
  
  
• Excellent communication, organisation and motivational skills
  
  
• The ability to operate effectively in a fast-paced, evolving, start-up organisation
  
  
• Knowledge of highspeed network interface and optical transceiver systems (advantageous)
  
  The Embedded Software Engineer role is based on site in Paignton, Devon 5 days per week. Relocation assistance and working visas may be possible for the right candidate
